Extend Safari's History to a full year
Authored by: gifutiger on Jul 02, '05 09:20:22PM

Help, I'm sure that I'm missing something here! The file was easy to find, I opened it with "TextEdit" couldn't find the line indicated in the posting, so I pasted the recommend lines into the com.apple.safari.plist however when I saved the file the system over wrote the file and made a new one of it's own choosing. So when I re-opened the file everything that was there was new. Completely new, as the file which had been 8k was now 4k in size. Another side effect was the all of my "Safari Preferences" had went back to default.

If you're using Tiger, the .plist files are maintained in some XML format which TextEdit does not support (in saving). You've got to use the property list editor which is part of the developer tools package.
